I usually HATE January and February. It's cold, cloudy, and cut short on daylight. I'm not keen on March either, but at least it's not the first two months of the year. However, this year we timed lambing for mid-December to mid-January. Of course the sheep don't keep calendars and didn't begin lambing until late December keeping me on my toes until this past week. Barring mayhem and catastrophe (which is probable on any given day on the farm) we'll have 20 lambs available this spring!
In addition I have begun making soap. After a few trial runs it seems to be a hit! The plan is to get some really good recipes using what's available on the farm. We acquired an Icelandic/ East Frisian ewe who will be lambing in March and providing us with some fresh milk. We will be expanding the bee hive which should provide us with honey for the soap, too. If there is a soap you really like and can't find, I'd like to know. Use the contacts page to message me. I always answer within 24 hours (I've got one of those off farm jobs as well.)
Only two more days in January!
